Imacros loop on multiple url

I am trying to extract a list of hrefs from multiple urls. The A type has always the same class "property_title" should I use pos 1, 2 etc.. or can I just put * position, Extract every href from that page? Also I would like to put every url at the beginning.

Thanks

Solution

  • No, wildcards can't help here, you can use either explicitly specified numbers or relative positioning: 

    TAG POS=R1 TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:property_title&&TXT:* EXTRACT=HREF

    Loop is a good option too:

    TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:property_title&&TXT:* EXTRACT=HREF

    Alternatively XPATH or CSS selectors can be used to identify the element unambiguously: TAG command description

    To add current URL to the Extract variable you can use:

    ADD !EXTRACT {{!URLCURRENT}}
